RNC Plan of Attack for Obama

They are coming. They have big plans. They have a lot of money too. They mean to win, no matter what the cost. They will slice, they will dice, they wear tear Obama to shreds and spread unspeakable lies every moment of every day until the National Election.
What are we as Democrats going to do about this? Do we have a plan? No. Do they, you bet.
At the Los Angeles Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the winter location for the RNC big fat cat donors plans are well under way to crush the Democratic Party.
I caught this article by Jeffery Ressner dated 2/17/08 on Politico. I will quote a few of the more interesting parts.
Focusing on Barack Obama’s "inexperience" and "undisciplined messaging" are two ways to ensure that the senator from Illinois doesn’t get to be president, according to honchos at the Republican National Committee. Big RNC contributors got an earful this weekend about methods the GOP will use to battle the Democrats for control of the White House this fall, as well as other initiatives central to the conservative cause.
The RNC’s "winter retreat" for major donors at Los Angeles’ Beverly Wilshire Hotel featured such party stalwarts as Karl Rove, RNC chairman Robert Duncan, former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams, as well as some Hollywood types, including Dave Berg, a segment producer and "political director" for "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.
But chief among the RNC’s concerns were how to keep a tight grip on the White House this fall. Plenty of lowbrow Hillary Rodham Clinton jokes were tossed around at the three-day event, but of highest concern was the notion of Obama seizing the Oval Office in a contest against presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.
"We all dislike Hillary," declared Southern California Rep. Ken Calvert, from the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles, echoing thoughts of the roughly 75 attendees at a Sunday morning RNC session.
This next quote tells it all, is revealing and sorry, but the truth:
"Forgetting who will be the easiest to beat, I've got to tell you, a President Hillary doesn’t scare me nearly as much as a President Obama."
RNC Chairman Duncan as well as Co-Chairman Jo Ann Davidson opened the Sunday session with a Power Point presentation outlining five main strategic attacks against the Obama candidacy. A Politico reporter witnessed the document, but not the presentation.
The Politics of Immigration
* Steadfast McCain ally sparks veep talk
* Obama visits John Edwards
* Obama's rhetoric getting some friendly help?
The first called for pointing out what the GOP views as a seeming incongruity between Obama and the mantle of commander in chief. The second point harkened back to Obama’s days in the Illinois state Senate, noting how his "pattern of voting ‘present’ offers many openings to question his candidacy." The third offered hope to the GOP faithful that "we can be confident in a campaign about issues." A fourth bullet point relayed how "undisciplined messaging carries great risk," while the fifth and final attack point stressed, "His greatest weakness is inexperience. He is not ready to be commander in chief. He is not ready to be president."
We might want to start sending this simple documentation to various parties: MSM, Our Republican friends, those that will listen to the inexperience argument:
During the first - 8 - eight years of Barack Obama's elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.

- The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law,
- The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,

- The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
I am sitting here wondering how to fight the Republican party when I know the worst is yet to come. We had better be ready for the fight of our lives because if we let these bastards swift boat us, our party, and this country is going down in flames.
Just remember this: If McCain gets elected, you can bet your young beautiful sons and daughters are going to be drafted with out a doubt.
How do we fight them? Do you have any specific practical ways to help?
